Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform engineering activities within one or more specified engineering disciplines. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with performing engineering activities or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: research and evaluation review and maintenance of academic development, work experience, ethical practice, indemnity, negotiation, consultation and human relations with respect to the practice of engineering consultation with technical experts and specialists evaluation and ranking of engineering options for particular applications designing and planning documentation for particular applications documenting work instructions implementing occupational health and safety and environmental regulations, codes of practice and statutory requirements identifying and analysing hazards and risks monitoring and consultation with stakeholders and taskforce research and evaluation of engineering career options based on current engineering activities |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: political, social and environmental context and possible range of particular engineering activities the effect of government policy on industrial education and training, immigration for industrial labour/ skills, globalisation, the quality movement, JIT and competitive or lean manufacturing on a range of applications using jobbing, batch, mass or continuous production the significance, need for continual review and maintenance of academic development, work experience, ethical practice, indemnity, negotiation, consultation and human relations with respect to the practice of engineering the significance and applicability of strategic industrial management, financial management, workteams, supervision and control, industrial relations, OHS&E, enterprise based agreements, chemical registers, noise abatement, industrial law to particular industrial applications and work environments the application and affect of elements of engineering practice on particular engineering activities methods for evaluation and ranking of engineering options including the use of decision making and problem solving tools (eg. Kepler Trebor method) the significance of documented processes and outcomes performance measures in the context of client requirements, industrial, social, political and economic environments documented work instructions in the context of the objectives of the engineering activity negotiating principles risk assessment tools such as "risk matrix' and "Monte Carlo" risk assessment the significance of statutory requirements disaster management strategies long term environmental and sustainability issues associated with the engineering activity documentation and conclusion procedures relevance of current engineering activities to future career options the value of a portfolio in contributing to future career options in engineering |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Factors, conditions and contexts | Academic development, work experience, ethical practices, indemnity, negotiation, consultation and human relations Applicable local, regional, national and international economic, political and social contexts |
Management practices | Strategic industrial management, financial management, workteams, supervision and control. |
Regulatory/legal systems | Industrial relations, OHS&E, enterprise based agreements, chemical registers, noise abatement, industrial law to particular industrial applications and work environments |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist
Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
